kristina Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi I am thinking of employing a company for the HR side of my business, contracts, staff handbook, all grievances, disciplinaries etc. Does anyone else do this and if so what companies do you use. Thanks Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TORO Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi, it is worth it, in the long run, it is like getting car insurance you don't know when you would need it. They help out with disputes and tribunal cases, a friend had to pay £5000 out of court dispute, and immediately signed up with a company, having said so i find them a bit expensive i have a company who keeps calling peninsula try them, but be prepared for hard sale.

kristina Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Peninsula have been in, the problem with them is the length of contract! It's a minimum of 3 years and as the gentleman couldn't tell me the future forcast for birth rates it's a bit of a no go with them. Deminos look quite good, and only a 12 month contract however the cost is expensive, they do deal with everything though. It's a tough call but begining to feel a bit out of my depth with staffing issues etc would feel a lot happier with someone else over seeing it!! Thanks for the reply Toro.

Guest Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Hi, I use Peninsula. Have been with them a couple of years, and it's been money well spent! They have always been very helpful, dealing with pretty minor holiday pay calculations to a nasty disciplinary matter. HR can be such a minefield, nice to know I've always got back-up.

becsltd Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Have you looked at HR4 Nurseries. They are fantastic! We have been with them for a year and it is great to know that they are at the end of the phone to go through anything we need. They have supported us with disciplinary issues, flexible working issues, asbence management and also grievances raised. They draft out personalised letters for you to use which is worth it in itself! I can't recommend them high enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKeyteach Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Try asking your bank. Our's run a service, there is a fee which we re negotiated and works out fairly reasonably. Again have used them to produce contracts and for advice when issuing a warning. They have been really helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
